It’s not too often you attend a movie where the audience applauds at the end, but Julie & Julia is that kind of film. And if you were classifying it as a chick flick, think again; it’s much more than a testament to “girl power.” The film is a hilarious story about two people with parallel lives: both seeking fulfillment through self-actualization.

If your looking for a good film this summer, Julie & Julia transcends audiences and is a must see!

Interesting fact: Lovely Bones was reportedly drawn from the author’s raped in college. She also wrote about the crime in the 1999 memoir, Lucky, and was instrumental in putting her attacker in prison.
